what if tf1 and damrron was unstuc? wat if tf1 was funny? and wat if thye rote journals?

It`ll be hard to forget the first few episodes working with David Peckinpah. We had heard stories about David weeks before he came into production with Bill, I, and the executive producer, Tracy Torme. Upon arriving, David told us his life history. Apparently, David was an archive himself. After being born in 1,000,000 BC, David lived his life attempting to overcome the laws of gravity by building a Twinkie from a stone (Don`t worry...doesn`t make sense to us either). However, after accidentally setting half the tribe on fire when trying to cook his left foot, David was cursed and sent out on his own. According to Peck, he lived for 100 years without food and water. Finally, one day, he claims, he met a dinosaur named "Denver." Denver took in David and taught him how to cook, clean, and hunt for food. Soon David grew spikes on his head. But, apparently, the dinosaurs one day all became extinct and David was once again on his own. For the next 3000 years (David said back then, people lived longer, David lived on his own, but one day the Ice Age came and froze Peck. Needless to say, David was revived 1,000,000 years later in Encino, CA and initially worked at McDonalds as a cashier. Three days later, he was discovered by Bill Dial and hired by FOX. Huh?

When coming in his first day, David informed us all that his favorite movie was "Nightmare on Elm Street." When he came in the next day to pitch "The Dream Masters," we thought he was joking. I mean every element of the episode was identical to the famous Wes Craven film.

Of course, this wasn`t the "Dream Masters" you have seen. The original took place in Los Angeles and had only brief shots of our four sliders (you see them buy a slice of pizza at the local pizza parlor for about 5 seconds). It had all the same characters and a special appearance with Robert Englund as Freddy Kreuger (we suggested to David to change the spelling, but he wouldn`t hear of it). David orignally wanted to call this ep "The Nightmare on Elm Street" rather than "Nightmare on Elm Street." We suggested that maybe David modify this ep a bit, but he wouldn`t hear of it. Tracy, still working on "Sliders" couldn`t believe what he was hearing and spoke to David immediately.

TRACY: David, we need to talk.

DAVID: Oh no problem, Tom, what is it?

TRACY: My name is Tracy.

DAVID: I already know that.

TRACY: Anyway, you`ve got to do something about this episode...It`s almost identical to the movie and worse, it really has nothing to do with the series.

DAVID: Isn`t that the point?

Needless to say, Tracy ordered us to hire a 300 pound stripper, tie Peck to a chair, and make him watch her for a week straight. In doing so, we reformulated his story (a bit) and when we gave him the edit he didn`t like it...but when we brought in the fat chick again, he was compliant.

Thus, we had our famous episode "The Dream Masters." To learn more about this story, rent "Nightmare on Elm Street" and substitute in the characters from "Sliders" in the movie.

More next time!!!

in otherworlds, to parafrase matin` luther king, i had a dreme.

With typical neologistic fervor, my unstuck alternate has summarized an important consideration when pondering the nature of "Sliders." In fact, it has been theorized that all REM sleep taps into and retrieves information from altered states, similar to the parallel dimensions depicted by our favorite program, YO MOTHA-FLEEKIN BLEACHAS. Perhaps our dreams are reflections of certain clusters, as the Professor intimated in "Draggingslide," where the laws of physics differ substantially from our own?
